Conceived as part of a broader initiative to build a Knowledge Community on Children in India (KCCI), UNICEF India partners with research and academic institutions to encourage young students and scholars from around the world to engage in development issues pertaining to India’s children and women. The internship offers an opportunity to explore issues related to child rights in India across a variety of areas: child protection, health, nutrition, education, HIV/AIDS, and water and sanitation. The assignment involves a combination of desk and field work at the district or village level, with interns being grouped into teams that are based in field offices and work under the supervision of selected research institutions/non-governmental organisations. The selected interns will be placed in research institutions across states where UNICEF has a presence. The closing date for applications is January 21, 2011.

Dear All, I would like to know if the performance / life cycle of LF/HF/UHF Tags will be affected when they pass through EM based EAS systems ( Antennas, Activators & De-activators ). What happens when the EM strip is placed very near the tag? Will it affect the tag's read range? Any input from libraries using both RFID with EAS?

Need suggestions regarding Placement
by Rupak Chakravarty 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Dear members, Our University (Panjab University) will be holding a Job-Fest in the month of February 2011 covering all the disciplines including Library & Information Science. The department TPOs (Training & Placement Officers) have been given the responsibility to call/contact/inform the prospective employers (in their area) regarding the event and apprise them of the services/facilities to be provided to them in case they come to the University for hiring professionals. Such campus placement are very common in Engineering, Management, Computer Science (and the likes) but the problem I'm facing (being TPO) to identify such recruiters who will be interested not only in hiring LIS professionals but also visiting the campus for the same. I don't want to miss this opportunity for my students (our university has allocated grant for this Job-Fest). I seek valuable opinion/feedback from the learned members of the LIS-Forum to make the event fruitful for LIS students. Thanking you all Best Wishes & Regards Rupak Chakravarty Assistant Professor Department of Library & Information Science Panjab University, Chandigarh - 160014 INDIA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
